Title
Calendario postale per l'anno...
Description
The postal service in Italy was consolidated under Napoleon, and following unification, underwent extensive reforms. In 1871 it began to distribute its illustrated postal calendar, in part as a public education initiative, reaching corners of the country where printed educational materials had not yet proliferated. The calendars, which present much of the same information as a typical almanac, were given as gifts by the "postini" to their customers around Christmas time. The colorful covers of each issue reflect aesthetic trends, such as art nouveau and art deco, and often present didactic messages, such as national pride in Italy's artistic and archaeological heritage.
